I am the proud owner of a lock of my baby's hair. Cutie Pie got his first hair cut today.
Daddy has been saying for a while that Cutie Pie's hair has been getting too long. It was starting to curl around the ears and down on his neck. We live in a rural area where plenty of kids sport mullets but we just couldn't let that happen to our precious baby. So rather than become a fashion victim, Cutie Pie had to be brave and face the haircut.
You might be wondering which barber would cut a seven month old child's hair. None. Daddy did it at home. Now you are laughing and wondering how much worse Cutie Pie's hair looks than before.
Actually, Daddy did a great job. He used the clippers and a high guard. Cutie Pie thought the buzzing sound of the clippers was interesting. He didn't get upset until Daddy had to hold his head still. He wanted to look at the clippers. He didn't want Daddy to keep them behind his head! Cutie Pie needed a nap after all that excitement!

Where's the before and after shots? Matt is looking forward to Abigail's first haircut too.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see him. I'm surprised he didn't try to eat the clippers.
ReplyDeleteI remember when I gave my baby her first haircut at about the same age as Cutie Pie. I learned a several things from this DIY experience:
ReplyDelete1. You have to be careful when you cut hair wet, it looks much shorter when it dries.
2. Bangs look really dorky when they're too short.
3. Though it seemed like it took forever, hair does grow back (thank you, God!)
The picture I posted is a fake. We were just trying to make Cutie Pie comfortable with the clippers before we cut anything. All we did was a quick trim around the ears. He would not allow us to do anything else.
